Welcome to the Counterweight podcast, where we talk about how we can strive for a world in which freedom and reason are at the forefront of all human society. In this week’s podcast, our hosts Elizabeth Spievak and Mike Burke discuss shame, its impact on social life, and a recent article in which the authors found that expressions of shame broadcasted signals about social norms, and that people adjusted their behavior to align with those norms.
